Trevor Noah — the former host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” — has closed on the sale of his chic Hell’s Kitchen penthouse.
He sold it for $9.5 million, according to records filed with the city on Thursday. Moreover, he sold it to a man named Marcus Evans, who organizes live business, sports and entertainment events around the globe.
The gut-renovated duplex at Stella Tower — which comes with its own private plunge pool — was last asking $10.99 million, and it entered contract at the end of July, according to StreetEasy.
Noah bought the three-bedroom, 3½-bathroom penthouse at 425 W. 50th St. for $10.18 million in 2017 and listed it last fall for $12.95 million, not long before he left the seat of the show.
Noah’s recent projects have included last year’s Emmy-nominated Netflix special, “I Wish You Would.” His second book, “Into the Uncut Grass” debuts in late October. A movie adaptation of it is in the works, with “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star Lupita Nyong’o to play Noah’s mother and produce the film, according to People.
